PWWP2B

Chr 10

PWWP domain containing 2B

Also known as: PWWP2, bA432J24.1, pp8607

PWWP2B encodes a chromatin-binding protein that acts as an adapter between nucleosome components and chromatin-modifying complexes, regulating histone acetylation levels at actively transcribed genes by forming NuRD subcomplexes and recruiting HDACs to gene promoters. Mutations cause neurodevelopmental disorders with intellectual disability and developmental delay. The gene follows autosomal dominant inheritance and is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants.
